I don't want to just slam mozilla. It is a very ambitious project that has tons of resources pulled out from under it. What mozilla is undertaking is huge. I think in another year or so it will be a very, very strong competitor. It's becoming wayy more stable and fast. I find just pure mozilla with netscape loaded only uses about 20megs of ram. (Note: this is just doing Free memory before - Free memory after). It's just the ends that need to be ironed out now, proformance, and the little end stuff, but extremely important, like printing. I think once some of the plugin stuff gets streamlined you're going to see people proclaiming mozilla is really coming around. Loading the JVM at start-up is hardly memory/proformance effecient. Mozilla is the only real hope for advanced new web technologies on UNIX. However, I do think some things like Konqueror and Opera will be very good at rendering "the simple stuff" but it seems to me mozilla is more being designed as a cross-platform enterprise application platform in itsself. I just hope they do iron out all the little stuff.
There is only one bug that keeps me from recommending mozilla to friends. That is, bug 7201 The fact that Mozilla cannot print is absolutely terrible. If you try to print a weather forecast at intellicast.com you get 9 pages! Even each gets printed out on a separate page. It's quite crazy. Please vote for it.
I was rather shocked as I read RBL only blocks %2 of spam. I had heard it blocked more around %90 of spam. As I clicked the article I learned the "independent" study was sponsored by at&t's brightmail. Mindcraft anyone, please?

Slightly OT: Ballot in Palm Beach
on
eLection '04
·
· Score: 2
The ballot in Palm Beach was the same ballot administrated in St. Louis County, Missouri. I was wondering if anyone else here used that ballot? It sure did not seem confusing to anyone here.
Everytime I hear of "DARE" the song comes through my head by weird al yankovick.. "Dare to be Stupid"
Put down the chainsaw and listen to me. It's time for you to join in the fight. You better let your babies grow up to be cowboys. It's time to let the bug bed bite. You better put all of your eggs one basket. You better count your chickens before they hatch. You better sell some wine before its time. You better find yourself an itch to scratch. You better squeeze all the charmin you can when mr. whiffles not around. Stick your head in the microwave and give yourself a tan.. Talk with your mouth full. Bite the hand that feeds you. More than you can chew...
DARE TO BE STUPID! It's so easy now... I'll show you how.. you can dare to be STUPID!
Okay... grammar nazi boy... let's see here.. first not knowing that tensile test with the same cross sectional area show that steel is stronger.... whoah... kay.... now.. do you think its possible to say that the original poster was not trying to totally scientifically correct? He was saying "roughly." Further, his comparison of Aluminum and Titanium CLEARLY are based on AMOUNT not weight. He said Titanium (itsself) is twice as strong. This is entirely true. Aluminum is %60 lighter, thus, from his post you can easily derive that aluminum will be about %10 stronger per unit of weight. Please, lose the attitude, nazi.
House majority leader -- that means republican. Hemos is posting. CmdrTaco has previously stated his republican hatred. Interesting... I wonder if there are political flames wars in the geek compound....
Very interesting. Those people aren't making a dime off of those ads. Somebody used namezero.com to register those sites. So namezero is making money off of it. Though, I'm sure namezero are not the people who registered it. FYI, namezero is a little vanity domain place, will give you free "web" dns services (That is, no access over the real dns entries, but access to the main frame on your own domain), and email for your domain.
First, are you sure the CEO is 19? I don't remember ever seeing that. And twenty million dollars is a lot of money even to a multibillion dollar corporation. Twenty million dollars is a lot of money period. I haven't read the article yet, so I'm not sure what exactly mp3.com did to break copyright from Sony (was it mymp3.com). But it must have been something their lawyers thought would be illegal. Also... it makes me crazy when people refer to the McDonalds law suit as this example of a redidiculeous law suit. Did you ever see the pictures of the cup? It actually MELTED the cup. McDonalds DID mess up. Coffee that will melt the styrofoam they served it to you in is TOO hot. Maybe if they had served it in a ceramic cup that would be diferent, but they didn't:)
Okay, so someone sends you an email with this html embedded. Did your communicator just become a webserver? Think of the implictations there. Someone sends you an email, then they just cruise on over to your ip and access any of your files...
Nintendo can crash too. I've crashed supermario several times. Also in N64 I've frozen the system by jumping through certain places I shouldn't have been able to.. and it gets stuck in an infinite loop... All system are vulernable..windows just seems to be especially so... but from my expeirence 2000 is A LOT better... although moving around the network configuration settings and such has annoyed me greatly. Even though windows 2000 crashes less, I can still get way more done given a couple days on any *nix box. But I find vi blah.conf easier than wading through all kinds of gui.

Here Is the spec results of a Origin 200 360mhz R12k. Here is a dell PIII 733. You'll find the PIII system has better intger proformance and the Origin better floating point proformance. But, the tests are run only using _one_ cpu... and from I read in previous posts the origin is focusing on really fast IO.
I was looking around the Alias/Wavefront site and found this Taste of Maya thing, an evaluation verion of maya. I wonder if they'll offer this for linux? Also, does anyone have any screen shots of this program under any platform?
The SANS alert does not apply to this exploit... I think Microsoft has outdone themselves on the "the most serious expliot ever" all in the same week. That has to be some kind of record.
I forget the virus name.. but I remembering hearing of one that would slam your harddisk arm into the extended area over and over and over till it would break. No idea if it's true or not.
I got the same message about two months ago. I had set my info to 8 as a joke. I was _shocked_ to see this message I was checking the uin.. thinking shurely this was a hoax. It was from UIN zero... Ahh... I guess you can no longer set humorous info on icq... maybe I'll just set it to 85 now...
I recently bought a siemens gigaset, however I have this terrible problem with a loud oscilating ring and echo noise. I was wondering what kind of interference could create an _echo_? I thought it was rather strange... I should try to turn off our microwave see if that helps.. but its built into the house so that's easier said then done.. it means flipping the circuit breaker for 1/2 the kitchen...
Funny you mention the cyclone pinball game. Last year we bought the cyclone at an auction. It's a really cool game. Sometimes when I'm lying down at night and someone has left on the pinball machine I chuckle as I hear, "HEY YOU WITH THE FACE!" We lucked out when we bought a fun pinball machine because we didn't really which were good. We just went through and played a few before the auction started and liked that one. We got it in pretty good condition (one LED score thing out, and the spinning bonus wheel gone) for $250 not too bad.
